ABC's and Addresses

I wanted to post today about #2's date to Sadie's but the girl who took all the photos is a little slow in getting done. So, I'm going to wait until I have photos to show. Instead I'll tell you about one of the sneaky mom tricks I like to use.

These two girls love to play school. I'd like to say they evenly take turns being the teacher and the student, but usually that's not the case. #5 dominates and is the teacher the majority of the time. I use this to my advantage.

Last week, my little kindergartner was suppose to memorize her address and phone number. So, I wrote them down on a piece of paper, handed it to "Teacher" and let her teach away.

"Teacher" would say it

and "Pupil" would repeat it. After about 30 minutes, #6 had our address memorized (which is mostly made up of numbers - 12 to be exact- That's no easy feat!), and I had dinner made.
